I visited a cemetery with a friend the other day. I was wearing a skirt that ties on, and somehow along the drive it came untied and almost fell off when I got out of the car! Another of Baron’s naughty jokes?
It was a well-tended cemetery. My friend was there to spend some time with her motther. I did the same, and then to give them some privacy I looked in on the “neighbors.” It was a windy day and the flowers on some had toppled over, so I set them upright. There is always some tidying to do in a cemetery, whether you know the people or not.
If you go to a cemetery while working a spell, visiting a loved one, or just spending some time with Baron and Maman, do a little something to give back, and offer it up to Baron Samedi, Maman Brigitte, and the Ghede.
Love, Khouzhan Lucy
